Saturdays clash with Wales is a crucial game for England in their attempts to win their first Six Nations Grand Slam in 13 years, but their development as a team is of more interest to me. Nick Wittgren Jersey . That has to come through your No 10. George Ford is one of the most creative fly-halves we have got in this country but it has been a difficult season for him.When Ford is on form and playing well there is no one better. His instincts are second to none; if he sees a gap hes through it. What does happen sometimes is this weight comes on his shoulders after he misses a kick, and Baths struggles this season have compounded that.Even though he has grown up playing with Owen Farrell, is the Saracen putting Ford off his game? Hes getting good front-foot ball but it just seems that he doesnt have the confidence to go out and play. If George Ford doesnt get rid of that negativity he will find himself out of the starting line-up when Henry Slade returns. Dewi Morris If Ford doesnt get rid of that negativity he will find himself out of the starting line-up when Henry Slade returns, as Farrell will slip into 10.It is up to Ford to be playing so well that he retains his place when Slade comes in. If he is going to nail this position down, become one of Englands best ever fly-halves and win a Lions cap, he has got to shake that negativity. England Rugby star Jack Nowell, with the help of Mike Brown & Maro Itoje, give us a lesson in beating defenders. Wales on Saturday is the game for Ford to say, I know whats coming. I can run the show and put my forwards in the places they need to be.Twickenham showdown Nick Easter looks ahead to this weekends clash as Wales travel to Twickenham You dont need me to tell you this weekends Six Nations decider will be very attritional and orchestrated by the forwards. Wales have a good track history down at Twickenham but England are out for payback after the World Cup.The key match-up is between Billy Vunipola and Dan Lydiate. Vunipola has been Englands standout performer and gets them going, so Lydiate needs to execute the chop tackles he is renowned for.If Vunipola is cut down we will see Englands limitations, such as Farrells lack of pace and inability to cut an angle from 12. Thats the area I would be concerned with, if England dont get any go-forward. But its also something I want to see. If England start struggling, where do they go? Billy Vunipola has been the standout performer in this years Six Nations Taulupe Faletau will be trying to do exactly what Vunipola does for England. Its a very simple, northern hemisphere-based game in a sense. They dont have their No 8s roaming out wide like Kieran Read does for New Zealand.Faletau will sweep up at the back and carry off phase one. Its up-the-middle stuff from Wales and I dont see anything different happening.Its difficult to predict a winner because both sides have shown very little coming into this game. Eddie Jones is still putting his team together. He is desperate for a 12 and a seven. Jones delighted with Tuilagi Eddie Jones pleased to have England centre back in match-day squad for Wales It would be nice for coaches to go wide and wonderful but its all about winning games. Is that going to be good enough in Australia and New Zealand in June? No it wont. Maybe after this Six Nations teams will start developing and building towards the World Cup.I cant see Saturday being anything but a massive arm wrestle with very few points separating the teams at the final whistle.Youthful exuberance Tom Phillips and Wales U20s can move one step closer to the Grand Slam with victory over England There is a cracking game taking place in Bristol on Friday when England host Wales in the U20 Six Nations, live on Sky Sports.The rugby we will see at Ashton Gate is what the public want to see. Wales are going for the Grand Slam with a fantastic workmanlike back row of captain Tom Phillips, Shaun Evans and Harry Keddie, while England have some excellent young players coming through.While Wales have an excellent, all-round game, England are bringing through the next crop. Well have a slugfest at Twickenham but Im expecting a tryfest in Bristol. We should be in for a cracker.

The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. Kenny Lofton Jersey . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. http://www.indianssale.com/indians-brad-miller-jersey/ . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. Just imagine what the race for finals would look like right now had Melbourne beaten Essendon in Round 2. Sorry to bring it up Dees fans, but that horror result has come back to haunt you now. Had the Demons been able to secure the four points in what should have been a routine win on their home deck, they would almost certainly be featuring in their first finals series since 2006.As it is, theyre in ninth place and relying on some good luck over the final two rounds to extend their season into September.According to ESPNs AFL Power Rankings, the Demons are comfortably among the best eight sides in the competition right now, while the eighth-placed Kangaroos are the definition of limping home after yet another poor performance - this time to reigning champs Hawthorn.Looking to the all-important run home for the top eight sides, its GWS which now look most likely to finish fifth after their last-second loss to West Coast at home, while Adelaide - on current form - look most likely to snag a top-two spot after they scored perfect 10s in three of the rankings form factors.Sydney must win big thhis weekend and again at home the week after if they want to keep their top-two chances alive, while the Hawks just need to keep winning in order to secure the minor premiership. Bob Feller Indians Jersey. They face a tough test in Perth this weekend, taking on the literal Giant-killers in West Coast.Meanwhile further down the ladder, Essendon finds themselved out of the bottom two in the rankings for just the third time this season, after their inspirational win over Gold Coast on Sunday afternoon.LegendForm: The higher the number, the better a teams recent form.Draw: The higher the number, the easier a teams upcoming draw.Fitness: Determined by the number and quality of fit players available.
